Blog Post One<\/strong><\/p>\n

For my Digital Entrepreneurship audio project, my initial idea is to create a piece of promotional audio in the form of a feature about the importance of dog rehoming centres. I would like to create a piece of audio that explains how volunteering, fostering, donations, and rehoming are all very important for animal welfare.<\/p>\n

This topic is also very important to me as all the dogs I have ever had have been rehomed from centres, charities, and even people who can no longer take care of them. I have seen first hand the benefits and importance of rehoming, but I would like to create a piece for people who maybe don’t understand as much or for those interesting in rehoming over buying a dog. The charity\/rehoming centre I have in mind is RATS animal rescue charity in the Bedford area because it’s where my family rehomed our newest dog from. Throughout this piece I would like to interview the people who work at the rehoming centre, volunteers, people who have fostered, and someone who either had rehomed, or is looking to rehome a dog.<\/p>\n

RATS animal rescue charity so far doesn’t have any videos or audio on their website which means there is a place for my audio if they want to use it. So far the research I have done consists of gathering statistics based around animal welfare and dog rescue and rehoming.<\/p>\n

I have contacted RATS rehoming centre to see if they would like to commission me to create audio for them for free so I just need to wait for a reply. Until then I will continue researching other rehoming centres if RATS decline my offer.<\/p>\n

Blog Post Two<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last week RATS rehoming centre emailed me to say that they have decided to commission my audio piece which is great news. I am currently waiting for the chairman of RATS to contact me as he is keen to get involved with the audio.
\nI have decided to create five, four minute episodes each focusing on a different topic. The topics will be as follows: Volunteering, Fostering, Rehoming, Donations, and a bonus episode which will be a rehoming success story.
\nThe next step is to start coming up with interview questions and writing my presenter scripts for each episode.<\/p>\n

Last week in class I also wrote the pitch for my audio idea that I need to submit with my audio piece. In order to help me write this and come up with some inspiration for my audio piece I decided to listen to a few adverts and podcasts to give me an idea of how long I want the audio to be, what I want it to sound like etc,.<\/p>\n

These are some of the audio pieces and videos I listened\/watched to gain inspiration from:<\/p>\n
